I recently started watching the Epic Meal Time Show on facebook. Anything doing with food, is a must for me. But the fact these guys take certain, typical meals and make them VERY atypical, is just absolutely crazy! So because I love watching the videos and sometimes their meals are truly epic, I decided to chronicle the recipes that I actually enjoyed.

Apparently they have been around a long time and this meatball death sub is actually from a video they posted to their You Tube channel, back in 2013. Doesn’t matter how old the content is for this on Facebook, it’s still an epic meal time, for sure!

So, just a note, which I will elaborate even more on in another post, I have reduced my calories to 1600. I am in need of reducing enough body fat without a few weeks, that allows me to be satisfied with my physique, by the time I am done with medical school; that’s November 23rd.

With reduced calories, I have not decreased my physical activity. This should help shed the body fat, and as I push myself in the gym, and keep my protein relatively high, I should lean out nicely. Desperate times, calls for desperate measures!

I have gone back to the Chest/Biceps, Back/Triceps and Legs routine. Will still try to do legs twice a week, when I can. Hopefully being able to put more exercises into my routine, will also help me shed the body fat.

I have moved on from Emergency Medicine for my elective and I am onto Gynecology. Now, you would think that gynecology would be an easier, slower, not much to do, clerskhip, and you would be right. But, the catch is, with Emergency Medicine, I see patients and I am expected to be there from one time to another. Then they actually allocated a certain amount of hours per week, for us to self study. Seeing as Family Medicine NBME shelf exam, was afterwards, this study time came in handy. So I had enough time to gym on the weekends, and get my work done in the week. Now with gynecology, I don’t have that time because I have mainly theater sessions and clinics. So less hands on, but more time filled up with activities.

So, that was all said to introduce the fact that I leave pretty late on a Friday, and going to the gym afterwards to train with people who do the same thing, is pretty annoying. I don’t like a crowded gym with people who are training, but aren’t really as serious as the rest of us. Kudos to them for engaging in a fit lifestyle, but they do kind of get in my way. I feel kind of bad saying that, but it’s the truth lol. It’s kind of like the new year resolutioners, coming to the gym and getting in your way, when you know a few weeks into new years, they’re going to cancel their membership or let it lapse and never come back. So basically getting in your way for a short period of time, to then just disappear eventually.

Because of that, I have been training chest, back, biceps and triceps on the same day; Saturday. Then whenever I have a free day in the week, I train legs and then legs again. When I start having more time, I will go back to the Chest/Biceps, Back/Triceps and Legs, routine.

So this week, was filled with me doing legs twice for the week. Trying to get these legs to grow. Another positive about doing legs twice a week, is that I can reduce my body fat even quicker. If you follow my logs, you’d see that losing body fat quicker, is my main goal. I want to lean up, and get my body back into a fitter build.

Thus far, training my legs twice, is pretty good. I don’t try to do too much heavy lifting on my second day, but I think just lifting period, is going to benefit me in the long run.

If you have Netflix, you should have already noticed when the new chapter in Narcos; “Narcos – Mexico”, Season 1, is being released. In case you were not aware or you thought that thumbnail that said Narcos: Mexico, was just another lame drug lord series and completely ignored it, then you actually were not made aware then.

Before I give up the release date, just a little run down on what’s possibly to come in Season 1 of Narcos: Mexico. Of course we don’t have the original actors from Narcos: Columbia; Season 1-3, back on the screen. Instead, we have a new cast for this new chapter; Diego Luna and Michael Peña, as the lead actors.

So, the official trailer for X-Men: Dark Phoenix, has been released! “She’s changing…” into the mothereffing phoenix!! If you grew up watching the X-men cartoon series (which I did), you’ve been waiting for the Phoenix to show itself, in a manner that was worthy of her presence. Yes, they kinda tried to introduce the Phoenix in X-Men: The Last Stand , but that movie was mildly entertaining and could be easily forgotten (I had to actually look it up on google, to refresh my memory on when they may have tried to introduce this beast upon us).

Anyways, power like this, cannot be contained! Finally, Jean Grey’s story is being told as it was suppose to.

There’s nothing more satisfying than watching 128,000 dominoes fall! The video is over 7 minutes long, but you’re so engrossed into it, that you don’t even realize that. The individuals who did this, may have a lot of time on their hands but damn, if they didn’t do something impressive with that free time. When I have free time, I binge on Netflix series 😂

A lot of my pastime, is spent reading articles and searching up interesting stories online. One of those interesting stories, has to do with actors who were once considered to be extremely handsome or beautiful and ended up losing it all.

One of those actors, is Marlon Brando. He was considered one of the most handsome Hollywood actors during his time, and although he’s also known for some very unfortunate behaviors (you can use google to find out what exactly I mean by that), it doesn’t sway away the fact that he was a very handsome man. Unfortunately, he is one of those people who let himself go later on in his life and ended up looking nothing like his old self.

Everyone has to have a hobby, something that peaks their interest, or life can become a bit boring. Clearly I like bodybuilding, and binging on netflix movies. But sometimes, there are other things that peak my interest, like criminal psychology (frequented Crime Library a lot when it was up and running) and other worldly things; think UFOs, anything that goes bump in the night (supernatural phenomenons), etc.

Naturally, any article that points towards evidence of ancient aliens or even current news about UFOs, I tend to rush towards those and read them with heightened enthusiasm. I mean, we all want to know if the universe we live in, is occupied by other beings that actually have the ability to travel from their planet to others. I mean, the best thing about the movie Contact, was the idea that if there weren’t other beings in the universe, it would be such a waste of space. In fact, it makes much more sense that there are other beings living on other planets in the universe, than we are the only living beings to reside in this massive universe. Also, if they say that the universe is continuing to expand, then there’s even more wasted space being developed! 😋
